Funny what you get to thinking about in a stand sometimes.
What if somehow all humans just vanished.Aliens,war,God,etc,what would happen to deer populations?
I would think for the first couple years they would sky rocket.Not getting shot or run over by man.But then slowly over time,10 years or so,maybe more,
they would decline greatly.
Why?No ag crops,and those fields would mostly go to invasives like Johson grass,etc.No food plots,of course this is a much smaller reason.And no Timbering being done,leading eventually back to mostly closed canopy forrests,with little browse at all.
Yeah its been a slow weekend
